News: Moulson has earned a nomination for the Lady Byng Trophy, which is given to the NHLer who has best exhibited the combination of sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and skill. Marty St. Louis of Tampa Bay and Patrick Kane of Chicago are the other nominees. It is Moulson's second consecutive nomination for the award. [+]
Impact: Moulson totaled just four penalty minutes while finishing in the top three on the Isles in goals (15), assists (29) and points (44). His efforts also helped lead the team to the postseason for its first appearance in six seasons. ( RotoWire - Mon. May 20, 2013) |
News: Boulton signed a one-year contract with the Islanders, according to the Islanders web site. [+]
Impact: Boulton is on the team for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to add some toughness to an otherwise soft lineup. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 17, 2013) |
News: Boulton re-signed with the New York Islanders on Friday, agreeing to a one-year contract. [+]
Impact: The 36-year-old Boulton had 36 penalty minutes in 15 games this season for New York. He has 27 goals, 46 assists and 1,301 penalty minutes in 615 career NHL games with Buffalo, Atlanta, New Jersey and the Islanders. ( STATS - Fri. May 17, 2013) |

News: Malkin snapped a two-game pointless streak with a goal and an assist Friday night. [+]
Impact: Even with a mini-scoring drought, Malkin has netted four goals and 16 points in the playoffs, one point behind Boston's David Krejci for the league lead. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Morrow (arm) returned to the lineup Friday and scored Pittsburgh's first goal six minutes into the game. [+]
Impact: Morrow has been dealing with an arm issue, but he was also in danger of serving as a healthy scratch. He has two goals and four points in 10 playoff contests for Pittsburgh. The winger entered Friday with 27 hits but failed to register a hit against Ottawa for the first time in postseason action. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Vokoun made 29 saves in a 6-2 series-clinching victory Friday night against the Senators. [+]
Impact: He's now 5-1 in the playoffs, with his only blemish coming in Ottawa's double-overtime Game 3 win. Vokoun's performance Friday was so expected that he wasn't even named one of the game's three stars. The 36-year-old has given Pittsburgh a calm presence in goal and will likely stay there until he gets hurt or has a bad game. Right now, nothing seems to be able to slow him or the Penguins down. The team will await the winner of the Rangers-Bruins series to play against in the East finals. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
